"There isn't concrete evidence…" Li Jing began, "But according to some professional analysis, there may have been some unforeseen circumstances the year when the Japanese Kwantung Army buried the treasure that resulted in the loss of the information. They were too strict about confidentiality and ended up losing the clues to find the treasure!"
